Back in art school, I hated doing studies. Especially drawing and painting over and over the same old pots and vases, it was a nightmare to me(and main reason not to go to the university in a normal system becasue I would die of boredom)I know, it's not that simple and it's not boring when you're creative, yet I still don't think it's a place for me. Or I'm not creative enough to make a masterpiece out of a random old pot.
Works much better for me when I have a certain image to make and do studies straight for it. That it's all animals is a different issue x3.
I'm a retard when it goes to ears.

There's some great weight here - and I totally dig the complaint about boredom. Still lifes aren't that interesting for me, because once I have a good view of the objects, it's hard to play with their proportions. I adore things like Architecture sketching, though, because you can see the forms much more clearly... to each their own.
And I love the texture you got in how the fox's fur changes when she moves her head. Nice touch.

I'm using 8B and it's still not soft enough. I'm mostly addicted to brushwork because it's the only medium that can move as fast as my brain. (But I have to stop every so often and dip the brush.)
With any other drawing medium the texture catches on the paper and it drags my hand to several steps behind my brain. And when I move my hand that fast, it creates horrible strain on my nerves.
Act like an orchestra conductor in the air, but at 240 BPM (or, four sweeps of your hand every second). That's the speed my brain is conceiving the drawing, and my hand can't keep up without those horrible nerve and blood feelings. ^^"

Oohh, that's more advanced I see : D I believe anybody can find their perfect tool. Lately I've had problems again with painting forest - lots of leaves and greens. Tried with colour pencils, watercolour and sponge but nope, failed again :I
Then you have to maybe slow down and enjoy the beauty of your model X3

Forests are insanely tough, because green isn't really a color, it's an optical illusion. So it's impossible to manipulate...
My eyes are different sizes and I don't really have good depth perception, so I rely on parallax to gauge depth. It's all flat like on paper. So when I slow down and keep glancing, what happens is the composition completely changes in front of my face... I wish I could slow down, but I can't.

Ooohhhh, interesting. Illusion or not, I still have problems with comming up with a good way, idea, style to depict leaves.
Aw, I have artificial difference between my glasses and real defect with my eyes, but this is really serious :<. Good you found a way to cope with that. I had a colour-blind guy in my class, in art school, so apparently there are no boundaries in art, even physical.

One trick I heard is to draw straight lines out from where the tree grows the leaf, that'll be the stem; then draw the leaf around the stem. And you can fuck with them, being pulled by gravity or bent by dryness...
My heroes are the artists who managed to transcend their eye problems... Degas, late in life, when his cataracts made his works explode into flat shape and color.
